| Additional information |
The Tikal complex — formally designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979 — sits within the Petén department of northern Guatemala and represents one of the largest excavated Maya cities known. Guatemala's commemorative coinage program has repeatedly drawn on Tikal as a subject, and the 1 Quetzal denomination in silver occupies an unusual position: nominally worth one quetzal at face, yet struck in sterling at a production cost many times that figure, a gap that makes these coins functionally uncirculatable from the moment of issue.
